$11k in debt is drowning me

Hi everyone!

After the unexpected loss of a family member at the same time as I was changing jobs last year, I ended up living on a Discover cc for a number of months. It tanked my credit score, which I’ve finally started recovering from and am back up to the 600s, but trying to pay off the maxed out card is hurting me. The interest pushed me over the max limit of $11,500, and after months of payments I’ve only just got it down to $11,462.39. The APR is 26.4% variable. I called the company and they declined a lowered rate, and said they don’t do fixed rates. I am ineligible for a consolidation loan due to my debt to income ratio (my income is fine for this purpose). My partner and I are budgeting, but even doubling the minimum doesn’t get me very far.

How can I set myself up to succeed and pay this off faster? My statement says it will take 47 years and $83,000 in interest to fully pay with only minimum payments.

Thank you in advance 💖
